The debut intake sold out.Now the doors open wider.

Every seat of the men's intake went. This is the first time the course opens to everyone else: twelve seats, inaugural intake, mid-March 2027. We only trust these tools to the right people. Read this page carefully. If it sounds like you, apply.

Dominants of every gender and orientation.

  • —

    Women who dominate men, women, or anyone in between

  • —

    Lesbian, sapphic and queer Dominants

  • —

    Gay and bi men who top and dominate men

  • —

    Non-binary and trans Dominants, whoever you play with

  • —

    Anyone who has been told, one way or another, that Dominance isn't for them

Dominance is a skill.
You can be taught it.

Eight sessions. Twelve people. One room in Sydney. The world's first school that teaches Dominance as a craft, and the only one that puts real, experienced submissives of a range of genders in the room with you.

  • I

    How to attract submissives, or guide the partner you already have down the path of submission.

  • II

    What to do with them once you have them. In the bedroom and out of it. How to give them experiences that keep them coming back.

  • III

    How to be more Dominant in your daily life too, with family, at work, with everyone you deal with. Ethically, and in a way that makes people listen.

Unlimited re-attendance. Pay once and come back to every future intake, for life.

Some of the greatest Dominants alive are women who make six-foot-five billionaires quiver with obedience.

Almost all kink education was built for one kind of Dominant.

Usually a cis, straight man. Everyone else gets his scripts.

Ours are different: proprietary tools you won't find anywhere else. This edition teaches every one of them, with an eye on where gender and socialisation change how they land.

What you might be carrying.

  • You were raised to accommodate.

    To agree, smooth things over and apologise first. That people-pleasing doesn't switch off at the bedroom door. Night one is where you start taking it apart.

  • People assume you're the sub.

    Femme Dominants get mistaken for submissive constantly, or simply aren't taken seriously. You'll learn to be read correctly before you say a word.

  • You don't want to perform masculinity to be read as in charge.

    You don't have to. Authority isn't a gender.

  • Top and bottom aren't Dom and sub.

    For gay and bi men: what you do in bed and who holds the power are two different things. Most men who top have never been taught the second.

  • Topping men comes with its own rules.

    Whether you're a man or a woman who doms men, you'll learn to handle ego, vet properly, and lead men who are used to leading.

  • There's no script.

    In queer dynamics, especially when both people were taught to defer, nobody knows who leads. You will.

  • “Topping from the bottom.”

    The sub with a wish list who runs the scene from underneath. You'll learn to take the room back, warmly and completely.

What eight sessions buy you

Four things you do not have right now.

  • One

    The right people, coming to you

    You stop chasing. You get read correctly, and the submissives who suit you find their way to you.

  • Two

    A bedroom you actually run

    Scene construction, vetting questions, position training, physical skills, mental Dominance, and the nerve to hold your own state when theirs moves.

  • Three

    A life you stop apologising for

    Most of this translates outside the bedroom. You stop making yourself small, you step out of people-pleasing, and the people around you feel safer as you do it.

  • Four

    The House

    Your alumni community, from domus: home. The door stays open, with a private group for ongoing support as you put the tools into your love life and daily interactions.

Dominance isn't a body type.

You don't need to be tall. Physically large. Imposing. You don't need a deeper voice, more aggression, money, or anything else you were issued at birth. Not your gender, not your build, not your pronouns. None of that was ever the point.

Endorsed by

My teaching is endorsed by two well-known Dominatrixes, each with more than ten years in the kink world.

Some of these concepts were developed in collaboration with them. Others, they have taken the training in themselves. Both are open to you reaching out to verify it.

Professional Dominatrix · Twelve years

“I’ve known Artyst as long as I’ve been a Pro Domme — twelve years and ticking.”

Our skill sets are symbiotic; whether those concepts We developed together or the skills acquired separately, Our trajectories as Dominants have always traced parallel patterns and Our relationship is one of deep respect — both for one another and for the craft.

The Artyst is not only an exceptional Dominant, but someone capable of exceptional vulnerability, humility and integrity, and I am confident that by the end of your education under Him, you will understand those qualities to be intrinsic to, and interdependent with, the quality of Dominance itself.

There is no other cis male Dom I would recommend learning from except him. Use what you procure responsibly.

Dominatrix · Over a decade in the scene

“Artyst is a natural leader and genuinely great at helping people feel safe, build confidence and step outside their comfort zone.”

I’ve known Artyst for over a decade, and he’s someone I’ve always really respected for his depth of experience and knowledge when it comes to D/s.

Having experienced the D/s dynamic from both sides, Artyst brings a rare depth of understanding, empathy and perspective, combined with an exceptional ability to communicate, lead and motivate others.

The definition

A seat at the table. Without taking anyone else's.

“In the world, and in the bedroom. The word comes from dominus, master of the house, built on domus: home. It was never about force. It was about who holds the space. Used ethically, these tools let you make room for yourself and make everyone around you feel safer for it. They feel at home.

It is not aggression. Not cruelty. Not your height, your build, your gender, your age or your voice. I have watched people who look the part fail in a room in under a minute. Skills are not issued by body type.”

Artyst

You get proof in seven days, not at the end of the course.

You leave night one with a tool you can use in ordinary life immediately. It pulls you out of people-pleasing and gets you noticing every place in your life where you've been handing the decision to somebody else.

We've added an eighth session.

The debut intake taught us that six weeks couldn't hold everything that matters. This edition, and this inaugural intake, runs seven evenings and a full-day intensive.

It is a craft. Crafts are taught.

The method

Three movements. In order.

  • I

    You and the frame

    Who you are before anything happens. What Dominance actually is, and why the “alpha” is a myth. Becoming an authority figure, holding your frame, and everyday tools that make people make space for you. Kink foundations, done with integrity.

  • II

    The craft

    Reading them. The Elements of Submission and Dominance. Vetting, clear commands, positions, scene construction. Protocols, rituals, rewards and correction. Consent, training plans and contracts.

  • III

    Care, voice and the room

    Aftercare, repair and capacity. Dirty talk and praise. Building the brand that brings the right people to you. Then real submissives in the room, to test it all for real.

Seven evenings and a full-day intensive.

Twenty-seven hours in the room. On a different night from the Men's Edition.

IThe FrameWhat Dominance is, and the myth of the alpha. Creating an authority figure, the Pyramid of Power, the mantra. Kink fundamentals and safety. Decide, your first core action. Dominance with integrity, and the Oath.
IIEveryday Dominance, Authority & the ElementsTools for Dominance in your everyday life: speaking with conviction, holding your frame, winning people over outside the bedroom. The Four Elements of Submission and the Four Elements of Dominance: what they want, and what kind of Dominant you are.
IIIThe Details, Vetting & the SceneInstructions, commands and gestures that land. Position training. The vetting questions that build rapid rapport. How to construct a scene from start to aftercare. Initiate, your second core action.
IVRules, Rituals, Reward & CorrectionProtocols and rituals that build the dynamic in and out of the bedroom. Naming, and choosing your own title. Punishments, rewards and praise.
VConsent, Contracts & Advanced Everyday DominanceA five-part consent framework. Goals, training plans and contracts. Then advanced tools for Dominance in everyday life.
VICare, Repair, Dirty Talk & the FlagAftercare in both directions, the drop, rupture and repair, capacity. The five levels of dirty talk and praise, and how to use each. Building your brand in community and kink spaces: FetLife, Feeld, Grindr, Instagram and more.
VIIThe StudioReal submissives of a range of genders in the room. Co-create, practise and workshop what you've learned with them, get feedback in real time, then a Q&A panel where you can ask them anything. Plus a photography crash course and a live photo shoot. A clothes-on experience.
VIIIThe Full Day IntensivePractical skills from expert teachers: impact with world-renowned kink educator Hadrian, and Shibari fundamentals taught by The Artyst Kink. Integration.

Can't make every night? Any session you miss, you can catch up at a future intake, free.

No other course gives you this much access.

Two things that do not exist anywhere else.

  • Session VII

    The Studio

    Experienced submissives of a range of genders come into the room. You co-create, practise and workshop what you've learned with real people. They tell you in real time how it landed, and then you sit with a panel of them and ask anything. A clothes-on experience. Every other course teaches you to dominate and sends you home to find out alone whether it worked.

  • Sessions VI & VII

    The Flag

    Everyone in this scene has a reputation. Almost no one has a brand. In a small community, the sorting happens before the room: in a profile, a photograph, a name that either carries something or doesn't. You'll build yours, then shoot the images that carry it with live models in class.

What others have to say

I worked with Artyst for six months and implemented the tools immediately. I now have two submissive partners for the first time in my life. Everyone is on board and I'm thriving. Cannot recommend him enough.

Paid directly, or with PayPal Pay in 4 if you're eligible (subject to your own PayPal account's approval).

Or four payments of $550

Direct transfer.

This could be the last intake under $2,000. Later intakes in 2027 will rise to $2,500.

You're joining the inaugural Queers, Femmes & Thems intake. The first of its kind, and the price won't be this low again in 2027.

The guarantee

Attend every session. If you feel like it wasn't worth it for you, send one message, and you get all of your money back.

No questions. No conversation. No excuses needed. I'll just give it right back to you. Claimable for seven days after the intensive. Miss a night but complete the catch-up, and your guarantee stands in full.

And you never pay for this course twice. Every future intake is open to you, for life.

With powerful tools comes responsible use.

I'm careful about who I teach this work to.

I have taught parts of this before, in cheap workshops, to rooms I did not vet. I watched the tools get misused. People were affected by them in the wrong hands. That is the reason this course has an application and those workshops did not.

Some of these tools are so black and white in their effectiveness that I have to be careful who I give them to. For the good of the people who experience them, and for the good of the House we build.

If you are accepted, it means I decided two things. That this will work on you. And that you can be trusted with it. Fill in the application and I will reach out for further discussion if need be.

What is actually limited.

Twelve seats

The questions people ask before they apply.

I'm a woman who dominates cis men. Is this for me?

Yes. You'll learn to vet men well, handle ego, and lead men who are used to leading.

I'm a gay or bi man who tops. Isn't that the same as being a Dom?

Not quite. Topping is what you do. Dominance is who holds the space. This course teaches the second, and it makes the first far better.

I'm a man who dominates men. Why not the Men's Edition?

The Men's Edition is built around men dominating women. This edition is built for you: same tools, same depth, with the room and the submissives to match.

I'm non-binary, or I play with people of different genders. Will this fit?

That's exactly who it's for. Gender and socialisation can shape your Dominant style, and we work with yours.

I'm small / soft-spoken / femme. Does that work against me?

No. Height reads for about four seconds. Everything after that is the part I teach. Nothing in this course depends on intimidating anyone.

Are the submissives in The Studio only women?

No. They are a range of genders.

Isn't this about controlling someone?

No. Dominance is making space for yourself, not taking it from anyone. Someone who needs another person smaller than them in order to feel large doesn't get a seat.

I'm too nice. Is that a problem?

Kindness is not the opposite of Dominance. Submission is. And right now you may not be choosing to submit to others so much as defaulting to it. Keep the kindness. Night one is where you stop handing over every decision.

What if I do all of it and it still doesn't work on me?

Then you send one message and get all of your money back. That is what the guarantee is for.

Do I need a partner?

No. The material works either way, and Session VII brings different subs into the room, whether you have a partner or not.

Do I have to be experienced?

No. This course holds material you won't find anywhere else, and it is structured to be invaluable whether you're a total beginner or have been exploring D/s for ten years or more.

When does it start?

Mid-March 2027, on a weeknight that stays the same each week and is separate from the Men's Edition. The first round of offers goes out in late January to early February.

What if I can't make one of the sessions?

Apply anyway. Your place includes every future intake for life, so any session you miss, you can catch up at the next one. If more than one person misses the same night, The Artyst Kink may run a catch-up during the course, at his discretion. If you can make most of the dates but you're worried about one, tell us in your application, or reach out before you apply.

Is it discreet?

Twelve vetted people and a room nobody advertises. The address goes out after acceptance. Discretion is assumed, in both directions.

Who is The Artyst Kink?

A certified sexologist and kink educator who does not show his face. The reason for that is part of the method he teaches. You are welcome to ask for further verification.

What happens after I apply?

In the form, choose the Queers, Femmes & Thems Edition. You'll hear from us within a few days. The first round of offers goes out in late January to early February 2027.

Not sure it's for you, or whether the dates will work? Ask before you apply.
